This Week's Rant: It's a Terrorist's World

We claim to fight crime. So far we don't do much about it. I was going through an airport recently; all those security measures seem to be there just to make the white man feel safe. Personally, I think they can let up on it a bit without any harm. You know what part of a security guard's job is? Acting like everyone could be a terrorist. Because we've all got something to hide. Even if it isn't a nuclear atomic bomb you can fit in a suitcase or twelve dozen envelopes full of anthrax.They would make you feel like you look too much like a terrorist. How the hell am I supposed to look less threatening? Walk around with a balloon and a Hello Kitty lunch box? And it seems like they keep the innocent behind and let the bad guys through!

Y'know, some guy comes to the airport gate, chatting to his buds in some sort of Arabic language. "'Scuse me sir. Your name please." "Name? Oh one second." (Goes to his buds and chats in Arabic with some very sinister tones). "Joe. That's jay as in Ja'haad. Oh as in overthrow-your-government." "Very well, uh...Jo. Here's your ticket." "Oh, one-way! Heh heh heh heh! Inside joke."

In The News: Oil Prices Drops

Yeah, for the suppliers. It ain't yet showing the price decrease at the pumps. The price is stuck in the $4 region. Oh, how we all long for the days when the price was only a buck a gallon. Well, price won't matter when the economy stops, 'cause people will siphon their own gas - regardless of the station owners tied up behind the counter.

Weekly Random Thought

How the economy is moving. Stuff that's decreasing: the stock, the trust, the friendliness, the IQs. Stuff that's increasing: the prices, the lies, the greediness, the egos.
